The future of experimental particle physics is exciting – and energy intensive. SLAC physicists are thinking about how to make one proposal, the Cool Copper Collider, more sustainable.

The SLAC and Stanford team found, however, that subtle changes, such as changing the structure of the particle beam and making improvements in the operation of klystrons, which create the electromagnetic fields that drive the beam, could make a difference.
“It’s so new as a field,” Vernieri said of studying the sustainability of physics projects, but a necessary one. “There is a whole new discussion at least posing the question of the carbon footprint of particle physics.”
